Fashion Records Fashion Records is a UK-based record company that specialised in reggae music. Find us on YouTube... http://bit.ly/wa2u2y

The label operated from 1980 to 2000 and produced scores of hits in all categories of reggae including Lovers Rock, Dancehall, Ragga, Roots and Dub. The label was the brainchild of John MacGillivray and Chris Lane, two reggae devotees, and was essentially a spin-off from MacGillivray's Dub Vendor record store. The first Fashion release hit number 1 in the UK reggae charts in the summer of 1980 - D

ee Sharp's 'Let's Dub It Up'. In the next few years a many British reggae artists, and many artists who were passing through from Jamaica, turned up on the label: Keith Douglas, Carlton Manning (of Carlton & His Shoes), Alton Ellis, Carlton Lewis and Johnnie Clarke among others.

I've been looking at some old video footage that was shot in the basement of Dub Vendor on the 21st and 22nd of June 1986. We used to regularly rehearse and jam down there on Sunday afternoons, and there's some great shots of Fashion artists and musicians, including the Massive Horns.
I can't recall the names of the two guys who organised it (they wanted to promote a couple of gigs in Brazil which never happened) but as you can see from the clapperboard, the director/cameraman was one 'D. Mindell' from 'Geronimo Films'. A Google search was inconclusive, so it would be so great if someone definitely knows who he is (or even the assistant drinking a beer!)
